We were HLAF-WAY joking when we compared rapper Trinidad James To the character "Jerome" on Martin. But the creators of Martin are not joking. Word is that they're filing a $5M lawsuit against Trinidad James.
Here is the report:

The Head of Productions and the creator of Martin, Gerald Levin is planning on suing Trinidad Jame$ $5 million for infringing Jerome Rome from the show. After Levin found out about Trinidad’s $2 million contract with Def Jam, here is what he had to say about the whole situation. “Gold chains, gold rings, and rotten teeth, that’s Jerome!! …Martin created that.”

I guess when the brother Suge said he funks with Katt Williams and willing to ride for him he wasn't telling a lie. According to Tmz.Freshly freedKatt Williams had a front row seat last night as good friend Suge Knight got into a CRAZY brawl outside a Hollywood club ... that ended with Suge nearly mowing down some people in his SUV ... just hours after Katt was released from jail.

It all went down outside the Eden club. When the video (which is understandably shaky) starts, the massive brawl is already in full swing and you can see Suge trying to go after someone while Katt gets away from the action, walking behind a dumpster.

As the camera pans back, you can see Suge on the left side of the frame in a tan long-sleeved shirt. Suge can be seen connecting with some sort of punch, but the actual blow is blocked from view.

The next time we see Katt, he's making his way to a black SUV while being chased by someone. Katt appears to get in the car before the guy is able to catch up to him.Suge then gets into a white SUV and guns it, nearly hitting several people on his way out of the parking lot.

Katt and Suge were detained and cited by police a little over a week ago and Katt was just arrested Friday for child endangerment and had only been out of jail for a few hours before the brawl went down. Video Below- Hiphopnews24-7.com will keep you updated

Not sure how we feel about it . . . but good luck with that one!!!

Chad Johnson Sex Tape Video Leaked And He Admits He Made it!! -- Details Inside Chad Johnson acknowledges ... a sex tape which appears to feature the former NFL star -- along with TWO female friends -- is REAL ... but Chad insists he never wanted the footage to go public.

Sources close to Johnson ... ha, Johnson ... tell TMZ the tape was shot roughly 3 years ago in a hotel room in Florida.

We're told Chad has no idea how the tape leaked to the Internet ... but insists he wasn't behind it ... and now he's exploring his legal options in hopes of having the tape removed from the web ASAP.

So far, it doesn't appear the entire video has made it's way into cyberspace -- only bits and pieces -- but we're told the entire tape is "substantial in length" ... ha, substantial in length.

Meet Tia Norfleet NASCAR’s First Black Female Racer!! So, we already know most of y’all don’t watch NASCAR … it’s historically been a white man’s sport. But one woman is changing the game in a major way. Tia Norfleet is the first African American female in the league, and she’s about to scare off that hideous rebel flag for good … we hope.

She’s actually part of an installment to revitalize the NASCAR image. Over the past decade, diversity has been a priority. In an effort to push that agenda, Earvin ‘Magic’ Johnson joined the committee as co-chair.

Tia is the daughter of Bobby Norfleet, a former NASCAR driver. She was first spotted at the age of 14 racing karts. Over the years she’s matured in her sport and is now moving on to the big leagues.

Rapper Ice T is not going to like this. Radar Online is saying that AP.9 (who is ALLEGEDLY a PIMP in real life #teamnsitch#) is telling people that those pics of him and CoCo are NOT AT ALL innocent.

Here is what they're REPORTING: The bootylicious reality star turned Vegas showgirl earned the ire of her hubby after photos surfaced of her snuggling up next to the rapper, and she was quick to apologize for her "inappropriate behavior" -- but now sources are saying that AP.9 is boasting he has evidence that their encounter wasn’t as innocent as Coco has claimed!

“AP.9 has been bragging that he has photos of Coco with him in a private room in Vegas, and that in some of them she's on a bed, totally naked!” A source close to the situation tells RadarOnline.com

“He’s been putting feelers out to see if people want to buy the pictures and he's claiming they're really salacious and that a LOT more happened with Coco than just them posing in a night club.

As previously reported, Ice T went on a Twitter rampage after seeing the already released photos, which included a shot of AP.9 nuzzling Coco’s neck as they posed sitting on a chair together.

DANG Ice . . . if you wanna keep your PIMP CREDENTIALS you gotta let the truth out. And if she did you DIRTY LIKE THAT . . . you gotta FIRE THE HEAUX!!!
